Answer 1

ICD-9-CM/PCS were last revised on October 1, 2015 after 10 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is b) 10 years.

ICD-9-CM (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification) and ICD-9-PCS (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Procedure Coding System) are medical code sets used for reporting diagnoses and procedures in healthcare settings. They were last revised on October 1, 2015, after 10 years since their previous revision.

The ICD-9-CM/PCS code sets were replaced by ICD-10-CM/PCS on October 1, 2015, which provided a more detailed and comprehensive classification system for medical conditions and procedures.
